We had a wonderful experience. Very pretty property on the lake. We enjoyed the back yard space. The host communicates well and had everything we needed for a great week. They really thought of everything to make our stay so comfortable. The house was clean and neat. The fans and cooling boxes worked well when the weather was hot. Accommodations were perfect! I would definitely stay again!

Post Lake Retreat

We enjoyed it so much last year we came back this year. Great little place on a great size rec lake. Post Lake is not too big, not too small. All the amenities you need, without the hustle of a busy tourist town. Definitely will be back again.

We had a wonderful time at the cabin! It was clean, cozy, and had everything we could want for a week Up North. The host provides so much! Yard games, kayaks, firewood, a choice of a Weber (with charcoal) or Traeger grill (with pellets). Several outside seating areas and a firepit. Sleeps six with the futon. There are an abundance of towels and linens. Was pleasantly surprised by the thoughtful bathroom amenities. Kitchen has all the dishes, appliances and cookware and grill supplies you could need. A bag of ice and extra bottled water were so thoughtful! All you need to bring is your food and seasonings.The outdoor living was great! Large yard for games or Frisbee with the dog. We loved being on such a quiet lake and enjoyed kayaking, fishing, hiking, watching all the birds and being lazy. It's the most relaxing place. We would love to visit again!

Just what you need

Very comfortable for a party of 4. Excellent fishing and swimming in a very clean lake. Close enough to town, yet plenty rural enough for a getaway. Very well supplied cabin with all the amenities needed for a very cozy stay.

Property is very well maintained, and clean. Keep in mind this is a lakeside cabin, not a primary residence so it does not have some of the creature comforts some will want. However, if you are wanting a quite getaway and enjoy lakeside living it is perfect.

Best vacation we gave had in a long time

The cabin was wonderfully comfortable and cozy. Tiny but great kitchen to cook in. Grills were perfect for grilling. We enjoyed the dock and all the outdoor places to relax. Good places to walk and we enjoyed kayaking and fishing. The lake is shallow with a sand bottom. Interesting birds visited us including the loons, eagles, turkeys, and cranes. A big snapping turtle we dubbed the Post Lake monster. Lots of little turtles shared the calm and quiet water with us. Highly recommend if you are looking for peace and quiet. Oh sunsets and stars!!

Total relaxation

We loved the cabin we were in , it was beautifully done and had all the conveniences you wanted. The owner let us use his dock, so we spent most of our day on the lake boating, fishing, swimming. We explored the Wolf river that connects to the lakes. Great house. Clean lake. Wonderful time! Thank you!

Nice Property, Peaceful Location

Delightful property, in a picturesque, peacefully quiet location. Pretty much everything we needed for our stay was available. The nightly loon serenades were a special touch. A minor quibble: we only wished there was some internet availability, as there seem to be few local businesses that offer wifi.

Fun Getaway

Beautiful views on Post Lake! The lake was perfect for skiing, tubing, fishing, and swimming. The lot had plenty of room for yard games, campfires, etc. Cottage had wonderful amenities making it easy to unwind. Deer even stopped by a few times while we were eating dinner outdoors.

Lovely cabin on a large lake

This is a very nice cabin with charming decor that made for a very fun and relaxing up north vacation. Two nice kayaks, a great, large fire pit, great outdoor seating, comfortable beds and more make this a great place to stay. There’s no need to overpack because the owners provide just about everything you could need, especially in the kitchen. And seeing all of the wildlife on and near the property really made this a special place to stay at for us. We saw hummingbirds, some kind of falcons (we think), loons on the lake (and heard them just about every night), bald eagles, and more. It really was just lovely. The only thing I would say to be aware of is that there are stairs (with a railing) to get down to the water, so I can see where that could be a problem for some people (such as those with limited mobility or small children). Otherwise, I would say this is a great choice for your next vacation! :)

Cozy, remote cabin with a great view

This cabin is in a great location for either chilling out on the quiet property (with a hammock, lots of comfortable outdoor seating, and a perfect fire pit), hiking in nearby parks, fishing, kayaking, or just enjoying nature with friends and/or family. I saw raccoons and deer and many hummingbirds, heard loons, and slept very comfortably. The kitchen is well-stocked, and there is lots of parking. There's no wifi, cell service isn't great, and the water is very metallic, but I would definitely return if I wanted to disconnect and enjoy Northern Wisconsin again for a few days. The owner was responsive as well, and provided good visitor information. A pretty great stay!

Great cabin

Very nice little cabin. Beautifully overlooking lake. Mosquitoes are really bad if you get away from tiki torches. Be sure and screen shot your door code before you get there as there is very little cell internet to look up there, but I enjoyed the peace.
